    I think the presidents during World Wars 1 and 2 would absolutely hate Trump knowing that he has turned into the very enemy they fought against twice over. And turned the country that they fought so hard to preserve and progress, just to see it turn into a dictatorship. All of those presidents would seriously be rolling in their graves twice over now.

      Wilson would be cheering Trump on, for finishing what Wilson started. FDR would beat both of them with his wheelchair while Teddy holds them still.
